Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:3 kaliber]:
 > What does it mean GCC is not ported to Haiku? As I understand we need
 compiler compatible with BeOS, so there is nothing to do specific for
 Haiku IMHO.

 You're mistaken here. The plan for Haiku is to be mostly binary and source
 compatible with BeOS R5. This doesn't imply compatibility in the other
 direction, nor does it mean that we have to use the same compiler.

 > Are we going to create i586-pc-haiku instead of i586-pc-beos?

 I've already done that for gcc 4. I'm not quite sure yet, if it's worth
 the work to also to do that for gcc 2.95.3 or if we just stick to the
 status quo and start migrating to gcc 4 soon. It would be consequent
 though. Although mostly compatible with BeOS, we've created a new platform
 and it makes neither sense to live with BeOS work-arounds not necessary
 for Haiku, nor to hack special cases into *-beos ports for Haiku
 specifics. It would be the natural strategy to re-port the whole tool
 chain (perl, autoconf/-make, gcc, binutils,...) to Haiku -- they probably
 won't build from the sources as they are anyway, since our uname returns
 "Haiku" instead of "BeOS".

 > I think it's time to decide about GCC on Haiku. GCC on Haiku is quite
 stable, so I'm testing it and reporting such bugs.

 Your reports are much appreciated. We have a lot of tasks to do before the
 gcc question really becomes urgent, though.
